Bismarck-Henning Elementary School

Announcement for BHES Open House: This year we have canceled our building-wide Open House for the Elementary School. We will still have an in-person orientation for Kindergarten. We have the following time slots for families based on last names. Last names A through G will begin at 5:00 PM Last names H through M will begin at 6:00 PM Last names N through Z will begin at 7:00 PM Students can bring their supplies to their classroom, will meet their teachers, and take a short bus ride. Make sure to bring your student’s physical, immunization record, dental form, and vision form for Nurse Strader. For the safety of our families and staff, please remember to wear a mask at all times inside the building. Also, please bring as few family members as possible, so we can stay under our limit of 50 people in one space at one time.
